Proper Handwashing
Handwashing is one of the best ways to stop infections from spreading. Germs are everywhere, from your kitchen counters to gas station pumps. Your immune system can fend off many germs or prevent them from doing serious harm. But sometimes, germs can still succeed in making you sick.
Vaccines are another way that help guard your immune system. Click "More Information" to view vaccines offered at the clinic.
Safe Lifting techniques
Many of us have jobs that require lifting. In fact, we often see statements like "must be able to lift 40 pounds" in today's job descriptions.
Using improper lifting techniques often result in muscle strains, disc injuries to the joints and back. Muscle strains are the most common workplace injury.
There are proper and safe techniques to lifting that you should know. Stretching and strenthening may help prevent orthopedic injury and can be done in and outside of the workplace but should be done at the start of your day. For lifting, feet should be shoulder width apart, knees bent and back straight. Proceed with the lift by tightening the abdominal muscles and lift with your legs. Lift close to the body. Finally, if too heavy, get help!
